Big difference between "can do this" and "will do this." More than 99% of people are consumers, not creators. And the field only narrows the farther you go in a specialty.

I do agree that the comment you're replying to is asking for too much -- "verify" and "geometric" are very strong words. But I also agree with the implication that LLMs are making it a lot easier for a person with grit to get farther, which might cross that person's personal threshold (using "threshold" as used in TFA).

Hence why I said tens of millions and not billions. But in any case as long as the number is more then a few thousand, it's practically impossible.
